Palestine Action activists, the ‘Elbit Three’, have been declared ‘not
guilty’ after taking action against Elbit Systems’ subsidiary UAV
Engines in February 2021.
The landmark case – the first time that individuals have gone to trial
for direct action taken against Elbit Systems – represents a significant
defeat for both Elbit and the Crown Prosecution Service, who attempted
to prosecute people taking a stand to undermine the production of
Israeli drones.
Criminal damage charges were brought after activists locked onto gates
and threw red paint over the premises of Elbit subsidiary UAV Engines in
Shenstone, Staffordshire. The factory produces drone engines for a range
of drones manufactured by Elbit Systems, who are Israel’s largest
private arms company.
Activist: “You have to do something, if you do nothing then Elbit
continues to make its smart weaponry which enables Israel to kill
efficiently. Elbit has no business being allowed to be in the UK. It has
no values that are shared with humanity”
